Keto Dinner Rolls

Ingredients

We need 6 ingredients, plus water:

• Almond flour – I used ground almonds, which is the equivalent to regular almond flour in the US.
• Eggs – We need 2 eggs and 2 additional egg whites. They must be room temperature.
• Psyllium husk powder – This is a fine powder, the texture of flour. Psyllium is a high in fibre and makes low carb rolls fluffy.
• Water
• Baking powder
• Xanthan gum – For a stronger crumb structure
• Sea salt

See the recipe card for full information on ingredients and quantities.

Variations

Toppings: Poppy, nigella, sesame – even sunflower or pumpkin seeds would work.

Olive oil: Add 1 tablespoon olive oil to the dough.

Garlic rolls: Brush with garlic butter before baking. Or, try my keto garlic bread.

Instructions

This section contains step by step instructions and photos that show how to make the recipe.

Step 1: Separate the eggs. In a large mixing bowl, beat all 4 egg whites until stiff peaks form.

In another bowl, beat the 2 egg yolks until they are pale in colour and have doubled in size. Pour the egg yolk mix into the bowl with the egg whites.

Step 2: Stir together all the dry ingredients – almond flour, psyllium husk powder, baking powder, xanthan gum and salt.

Then pour the dry ingredients into the bowl with the beaten egg and add the hot water.

Step 3: Blend with a spatula until a dough forms. Don’t over-blend – you want to keep as much air in the dough as possible.

Step 4: Scoop up the dough and form a large ball. Cut into 8 equal-sized pieces and form rolls.

Step 5: Place the rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cut a cross into the top and sprinkle with seeds of your choice. Bake until golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
